Food for Thought

Food for Thought

This week in the Senior Hub, we have Chloe from the Heart Foundation in to support our learning with nutrition and how we can keep ourselves healthy. Today we looked at drinks and how much sugar they contained. We were shocked to find that e2 has twenty teaspoons of sugar. We also learned that children should not be having more than five teaspoons of added sugar a day.Check out our individual blogs and see some of the specific learning we have had.

Chloe is showing us how much sugar these drinks contain.

We are learning about which foods to eat most of the time, sometimes and not often. It is important for us to make the right decisions about what we eat and drink for ourselves and not be influenced by advertising.
